David: Just after posting the note I found that there was a package in main/otherofs called macutils. I used apt-get install macutils and it gave a file which I think is called hixbin. It insall the mime to use hexbin when it comes across The BinHex format and it seems to work, i.e., it writes it to a file. I was then able to look at it. These were word files so I was able to use word2x to convert them to text or latex.
